5 monthsI got a voicemail from 01279940513 on my home phone, saying something about a car insurance discount. They never mentioned which company they were calling from though.5 monthsThey rang me twice on Saturday, once at 6:10 in the morning and then later at 9 at night - proper funny. Good job I’m usually up around 5, otherwise I’d have missed it all 😂7 monthsI’ve tried getting car insurance quotes through the internet quite a few times. This must’ve been from one of those calls. And on a bloody Saturday, too! Proper irritating.8 monthsFor the past couple of weeks, this number has rung daily, always showing up as a possible spam caller. Even after blocking it, they manage to get through somehow. I picked up twice, and both times they kept asking about car insurance - thing is, I don’t even own a car. Not sure what they’re really after. Would watch out if I were you.8 monthsGot a call about insuring a car that isn’t even mine. Really confused why they’d bother!8 monthsFor days on end, I was getting constant calls from insurance people wasting my time non stop.9 monthsThe caller ID showed it as spam, so I just didn’t answer.9 monthsI saw an ad from Sterling car insurance claiming they offer cheaper deals for older drivers. Turns out their quote was more than £200 higher than my already expensive renewal. Also, I never asked for anyone to call me after I got the quote online. Absolutely pointless experience!Sterling9 monthsNot 100% certain, but I think it was Sterling Insurance calling since they gave me a quote just the evening before.Sterling Insurance10 monthsI did a quote with Sterling Car Insurance just yesterday evening, and I can confirm it’s legit, not some kind of scam.Sterling Car Insurance10 monthsMuch appreciated!11 monthsI just rang Sterling Insurance to get a quote for my car and they seem legit, but don’t go in thinking it’ll be anything cheap. The prices were quite high from what I saw.Sterling Insurance11 monthsGot a call from an insurance broker after I checked out car insurance prices on GoCompare, definitely wasn’t a scam.GoCompare11 monthsWatch out, there's loads of fake brokers out there selling motor insurance that doesn't actually exist. Nowadays, some tricky scammers have started peddling bogus life insurance policies too. Always make sure you deal with brokers who are part of the British Insurance Brokers Association - you can find a list of local members on their website. Also, be cautious because scammers sometimes put up false "safe" reports about scam numbers here, so don’t trust everything you see.
